Most of the remaining configuration points of a Sardana system are Tango
device properties of the Pool, MacroServer and element devices. They are
documented, device class by device class, in :doc:`../api/tango_device_pool`.

Runtime behavior of macros and scans is additionally controlled by
environment variables, listed in the
:doc:`environment variable catalog <../environment_variable_catalog>`.

For task-oriented guidance on how to configure a Sardana system (servers,
Pool, MacroServer, Spock and the YAML-based configuration tools) see
:ref:`sardana-configuration`.
